Positioning the platform as close as possible to the work area requires some planning. First, you must sur-
vey the work site to find a suitable place to park the machine. This must be a firm, level area as close as
possible to the work area. Take into consideration all obstructions on the ground and overhead, and avoid
them.
Once you have moved the machine to a firm, level surface as near as possible to the work area, follow the
instructions on the following pages to position the platform as close to the work area as possible.
Always, before operating any function, check the area around and overhead for any obstructions or electri-
cal conductors.
